8th Annual Gorgeous & Green Ecofashion Show for Global Green USA

Inhabitat proudly attended the 8th Annual Gorgeous and Green eco fashion show fundraiser for Global Green USA earlier this month and took in an array of mind-blowing fancy fashions made from sustainable sources. Gorgeous and Green event co-chairs, Zem Joaquin and Nadine Weil outdid themselves with this year’s ‘White Winter Cocktail’ theme at the historic LEED-certified Bently Reserve in San Francisco. Even the organic Korbel Champagne and eco-friendly 360 Vodka drinks were made to match. Read on for a look at this year's fashion show!

Global Green USA raised $230,000 at the event, which will fund back-up solar systems on critical buildings and schools impacted by Hurricane Sandy, seed funding for green rebuilding entrepreneurs, and sustainable neighborhood infrastructure in New York and New Jersey.

Once again, we were at a loss for choosing our favorite designers, as there were so many luxurious get ups to choose from. We fell in love with the Parisian style of Amour Vert, while the made-in-the-USA eco-conscious fabrics beamed national pride. The Ikat orange recycled polyester tunic dress was especially wearable and festive.

Naturally, PACT underwear kept us on our toes, as we blushed at the many tight ab’d underwear models walking down the runway. Made from organic cotton with fair labor practices in energy-efficient factories, PACT promotes change makers with a cause in the fashion industry.
